Army Black Hawks Airlift 202 Campers From Missouri Flood Zone as 351 Water Rescues Mount

Q: With over 90 people saved from Missouri's flash floods, what is the status of the one person still unaccounted for?

The one person who had remained unaccounted for in Crawford County was later found dead. Earlier Friday, authorities said the person was missing after flood rescues in the county and that search efforts were continuing in extremely dangerous conditions, with high water, swift currents and unstable terrain complicating operations. Later, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the person had drowned at Bluff Hole Park in Mulberry. That means the earlier missing-person report was resolved not with a rescue, but with a confirmed fatality, even as more than 90 others were saved in the broader southeast Missouri flooding.
